Abstract

A theme park runs various programs to provide users entertainments. Among the programs of the theme park, amusement facilities are the most favorite ones used by the users. However, Since the waiting time of the amusement facilities becomes increasing due to the large number of the users, the satisfaction of the users is diminished heavily, To solve this problem, we propose a reservation system for amusement facility using near field communication. In the proposed system, a server appends the user to the waiting queue of the amusement facility when an user contacts the reader of an amusement facility using NFC, If an clock approaches to the time that the user will exploit the amusement facility, the server notifies to the user. The implemented reservation system has the benefit to provide the user chances to exploit other programs during the waiting time.

테마파크는 사용자에게 휴식과 오락을 제공하기 위하여 여러 프로그램을 운영하고 있으며 이 중에서 놀이시설을 사용자가 가장 많이 사용하고 있다. 그러나 증가된 사용자의 수로 인하여 놀이시설의 대기 시간이 길어지기 때문에 사용자의 만족도가 떨어지는 문제가 있다. 이 논문에서는 이를 해결하기 위하여 NFC를 이용한 놀이시설 예약 시스템을 제안한다. 사용자가 스마트폰에 내장된 NFC를 이용하여 놀이시설을 예약하면 서버는 사용자를 놀이시설의 대기열에 추가한다. 그리고 사용자의 이용 시간이 가까워졌을 때 사용자에게 이용 준비가 되었음을 알려준다. 구현된 시스템은 사용자가 대기 시간동안 다른 프로그램을 이용할 수 있는 장점이 있다.
